Fortuna manufactures portable biometric devices for locations where wall-mounted attendance machines can’t go — construction sites, classrooms, guard patrol routes, remote field offices, and exam halls. Battery-powered. 4G connected. GPS-tracked. Including the iCON — the world’s smallest biometric terminal at under 200 grams.
Why handheld
Gates move. Floors go up. Temporary offices get relocated. A wall-mounted biometric machine is useless if the wall won't exist next week. A handheld device goes where the workforce is — floor by floor, gate by gate. No fixed infrastructure needed.
Deploying a wall-mounted attendance machine at every classroom door is expensive and impractical. A teacher carries one handheld device, marks attendance in each class, and moves to the next. The VF400++ and MicroLOG Bio are deployed across IIT Bombay, IISc, and dozens of colleges.
A guard tour system requires evidence that the right guard was at the right checkpoint at the right time. The iCON fits in a pocket, runs for 8 hours, and GPS-tags every scan. The biometric scan proves the guard's identity — not just that someone tapped an NFC tag.
Warehouse supervisors, delivery fleet managers, and rural healthcare workers operate beyond the reach of fixed terminals. A portable biometric device with 4G and GPS captures attendance with location proof — syncing to the cloud in real time.
Power cuts, no LAN, intermittent WiFi. Every handheld biometric attendance machine stores data locally — up to 100,000 logs — and syncs automatically when connectivity returns. Battery-powered, 4G-enabled, and built for Indian field conditions.

Why Fortuna
The MicroLOG Bio, iCON, VF400++, and MicroLOG are designed and assembled in our Kolkata facility. We control the firmware, the hardware, and the cloud platform they connect to. No third-party dependency — when something needs fixing, we fix it at the root.
Under 200 grams. 8-hour battery. Built-in 4G and WiFi. MQTT for real-time device-to-cloud sync. No other manufacturer offers a biometric attendance machine this small with this level of connectivity.
Our handheld biometric machines connect via built-in 4G (iCON) or optional 4G with SIM slots (MicroLOG Bio, VF400++). GPS tags every attendance record with a location — proof of place, not just proof of identity.
Rubber protection covers, 6–8 hour battery life, offline data storage with auto-sync, and 4G connectivity for areas without WiFi. These portable biometric devices are field-tested at construction sites, remote schools, and manufacturing plants across India.
SmartFace (enterprise, on-premise/hybrid) and timely.bio (cloud) — both developed by Fortuna. Native integration with every handheld attendance machine we sell. Guard tour monitoring, classroom attendance, and contract labour modules work out of the box.
Use cases
The MicroLOG Bio handles gates that move, floors that change, and temporary offices that get relocated. Battery-powered and drop-resistant — built for India's most demanding construction environments.
Security guards carry the iCON on patrol rounds. Each checkpoint scan is GPS-tagged and timestamped. The guard tour monitoring module tracks route compliance and generates patrol reports automatically.
One teacher, one handheld device, one classroom at a time. The VF400++ and MicroLOG Bio are deployed across campuses where wall-mounted machines at every door would be impractical and expensive.
Invigilators carry handheld devices to verify candidate identity at each desk. Biometric verification prevents impersonation — the most common form of exam fraud — without slowing down the process.
Warehouse supervisors, rural healthcare workers, and maintenance teams operate beyond fixed infrastructure. Portable biometric devices with 4G and GPS capture attendance with location proof in real time.
